The Absolute Worst Thing Raj Ever Did On The Big Bang Theory

Of the four main men on The Big Bang Theory, Raj Koothrappali, played by Kunal Nayyar was perhaps the most socially awkward. Raj's difficulties with women resulted in some painfully uncomfortable situations — one of which involved Raj doing the absolute worst thing he's ever done.

Throughout The Big Bang Theory, Raj the self-proclaimed romantic of the group tries to have a successful relationship with a woman, but falls horribly short for a number of reasons. On more than one occasion, he requests that his parents organize an arranged marriage with a woman from a "good Indian family." And every single one of them ends up failing miserably.

A list of his other romantic mishaps include: dating two women at once, rifling through a girl’s closets and drawers when she leaves him alone in her house; leaving one girl for another after the briefest of meetings with the latter, and then coming crawling back to his ex when a girl turns him away; pushing women way out of their comfort zone; referring to women he's not attracted to as "fatties and uggos"; and spying on his fiancée and that's not to even mention him fantasizing about his friends' wives and girlfriends throughout the show, even almost hooking up with Penny one night.

Easily the worst thing Raj did, however, was to Issabella. On the season 10 episode entitled "The Brain Bowl Incubation," Raj meets the beautiful maintenance worker when she comes into his lab at Caltech to clean late one night. Despite the instant spark between them, it becomes clear that Raj has a problem with Issabella's job.

After hitting it off with Issabella in his lab, Raj h elps her clean the bathrooms. During their cleaning session, he decides to ask Issabella out on a date, but she explains she doesn't have time to date while working two jobs. Before leaving the bathroom, he tries to convince Issabella to change her mind, and she again turns him down.

The rest of the gang quickly picks up on the fact that Raj has met someone,

But Raj makes a fatal and cruel mistake when he fails to correct their assumption that she's also an astronomer.

Uh, what? For a supposedly intelligent man, this is a stupid move.

Still, Raj cooks up a plan to surprise her and get the date he wants. It's a little pushy and desperate after she's already turned him down twice in the bathroom.

When Issabella next walks into his lab, he's set up a romantic dinner complete with flowers and a tablecloth for them to enjoy. Things seem to be going swimmingly... and then Howard walks in and casually mentions,

“Oh, yeah, the astronomer. Raj told us about you…”

You can actually see Issabella's face fall as she instantly realizes Raj has lied about her job, and rightly points out that she doesn't need to waste her time with someone who's embarrassed by what she does for a living. She makes a quick exit from the lab, dragging her cleaning cart with her as she goes. Keep watching the video to see the absolute worst thing Raj ever did on The Big Bang Theory.
